Overview

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a challenging condition with limited research. This review, conducted by experts, examined existing research and found that while many studies had small numbers of participants and mixed quality, some promising treatments have emerged, including stimulating a specific nerve. Due to the rarity of the condition, larger studies are difficult to conduct, requiring researchers to include less rigorous studies. This review aims to help doctors treat patients with CRPS by using the best available evidence, even if it's limited, and tailoring treatment to each individual.
